Griffon Corp (NYSE: GFF) reported Q2 EPS of $0.15, $0.03 better than the analyst estimate of $0.12. Revenue for the quarter came in at $549.6 million versus the consensus estimate of $549.95 million.

Ronald J. Kramer, Chairman and CEO, commented, "We are pleased to report a solid second quarter, highlighted by a 15% increase in revenue and 23% growth in Segment adjusted EBITDA. Our enhanced operating performance was attributable to the success of our portfolio reshaping over the last two years, starting with the divestiture of the plastics business and the acquisitions of ClosetMaid and CornellCookson. These newly acquired businesses are performing well and contributed to our increased Home and Building Products Segment profitability. Telephonics continues to improve its manufacturing efficiencies in anticipation of a growing backlog for its core intelligence, surveillance and communications solutions."

Kramer continued, "We are in the early stages of unlocking the full earnings potential of our businesses, and expect to drive incremental value to shareholders as we execute our strategic plans. Additionally, increased U.S. defense and infrastructure spending should further accelerate our revenue growth and profitability. We are optimistic about our future."
